Meal Plan Options

Prairie View A&M University strongly believes that on campus dining enhances a student’s educational experience by providing students an opportunity to develop close and supportive relationships, meet new people, and interact with faculty and staff in a non-classroom environment. Also, on-campus dining promotes health and informed dietary habits.

Because we recognize the different needs of the individual, the university offers a wide variety of dining venues, menus, hours of operation and meal plans. In addition, dining services offers nutritional information and guidance, vegan and vegetarian selections and special assistance with medically prescribed diets.

In order to meet your campus dining needs, the following meal plan options are available for the fall/spring academic year. If you need to request a meal plan, log on to your panther tracks.

Special Dietary Needs

Students requiring diet modifications for medical conditions are requested to fill out the Meal Plan Exemption Request Form and contact our Food Service Director. Appointments may be arranged to discuss dietary requirements and any modifications necessary for managing food consumption on campus. Students seeking dietary support for weight loss, diabetes, eating disorders, and other chronic conditions should contact a personal physician to obtain a diet outline.

*NOTE: Exemptions from the required meal plan participation are rare. The decision to exempt a student is made solely on documented health conditions that require special diets that cannot be accommodated by the University’s dining services provider.
